Goldfish Original Acrylic Painting 6x6 Daily Painting

A Goldfish is a symbol for abundance and prosperity and a popular symbol in China. To keep a lose style but mimmick the shimmering and translucency many layers with thin glazes of black, violet, deep blue, red and yellow were used.  I love aquariums and watching fish.  My favorites are the brightly colored ones like goldfish.  The way they shimmer and swim.

This a slightly textured painting. The fishes gills, body and background. Has some raised texture, I applied golden medium with a brush before I began painting.

Media: Artist grade acrylics on gessoed masonite (hardboard). Signed on back with date.

Size: 6x6 inch square, 3/8th of inch thick.

It's Spring and we were out gardening and enjoying the sunshine after a cold winter.  I came inside later to paint and felt something crawling on me.  Low and behold a ladybug had hitched a ride inside the house on my sleeve.  


Ladybugs are insects that are not only pretty to look at but harmless natural pest control.  Ladybugs are loved by farmers & gardeners, they can eat thousands of aphids during their 3 to 6 week lifetime.


Fun fact: While their color & spots make them favorites for people, they actually serve as a deterrent to predators.
